Friday Fun HOT DOG "Harry Hotdog in Alarm! Alarm!"

It's my birthday, so I thought I'd present a never-reprinted tale about a birthday present...

... from Magazine Enterprises' Hot Dog #1 (1954) which utilized then-state of the art tech!

I bet you thought Siri and Alexa were terrible as alarm clocks!

At least that's what i hear from those who utilize them as such!

Harry Hotdog was Magazine Enterprises' primary attempt at creating a funny animal series, running four issues.

It wasn't bad, by any means, but it wasn't really distinctive, either

Reading Room UNEXPECTED "Choice"

When DC's oversized 1979-80 sci-fi anthology Time Warp folded, the remaining stories...

...were published in the fantasy/horror anthology The Unexpected!

This never-reprinted tale of questionable "justice" from DC's The Unexpected #210, (1981) was written by George Kashdan and illustrated by "Vicatan" (Vic Catan, Jr).
It was typical of the output by long-time pro Kashdan, solid, but not really memorable.

The art by Vicatan raises it a notch with unusually-effective storytelling and clean linework.

Reading Room ALIEN WORLDS "Few and the Far"

In space, things aren't always as they seem to appear...

...as this never-reprinted tale from Pacific's Alien Worlds #1 (1982) demonstrates not once, but twice...

Admit it.

Writer Bruce Jones and artist Al Williamson fooled you!

Monday Mars Madness (JOURNEY INTO) UNKNOWN WORLDS "End of the Earth"

There's a lot of never-reprinted Atlas/Marvel comics out there...

...including almost all of this anthology series!

By not accepting handouts from others, mankind is taught to, once more, be self-sufficient! 

Earth will not be a welfare state!
One other point: though the city containing all surviving humans is in Africa, there aren't any non-white people there!

Illustrated by Vernon Henkel, this never-reprinted cover and feature from Atlas' Unknown Worlds #36 (1950) is typical of sci-fi comics of the 1940s-early 1950s (pre-EC Comics' sci-fi line)

BTW, though the book is #36, it's really the first issue!

The previous issues were titled Teen Comics, before that, All-Teen Comics, and before that, All-Winners Comics!

Also note, I called it "Unknown Worlds", even though the cover says "Journey into Unknown Worlds"!

The indicia (which lists the actual title in official records) leaves out the "Journey into...", so that's what we, and indexers, go by.
